It's an absolutely HORRIBLE "feature".
I have actually TWICE almost sent out the wrong item to buyers when that RIDICULOUS "this item sold, but we found this for you" comes up. I didn't notice or remember that nonsense happens, and the item it showed was actually a different item I myself was also selling. It was quite different item, but yes, it could be considered "similar". (They were antique lamp parts, and there are so many different types you can have or need). But I clicked on the sold item to pack it up, and it showed one of my items, but it wasn't the one that sold! It was a different part, that ebay deicded to show me instead, as "this item is no longer availabble., but we found this one for you". THANK goodness both times, I caught the "error" when I was printing out the label.
I wish you could turn that off, as even forgetting me almost sending out the wrong items, it's a hassle, as it causes extra clicks. I sometimes put reference numbers in my listings, so I can find them easier, so I often click on the sold item on my phone to go to the description so I can find the reference number to locate the item to pack. It used to be ONE click. Then ebay began "hiding" the description, so I have to click twice to get to it. Now they show an entirely diffrerent listing once it's sold, so you have to first click the link, then click the ACTUAL listing (as now they hid it too, with this RIDICULOUS "this item sold, but we found this for you" thing, then clock the description. Every time ebay adds an "enhacement" it causes more time and clicking and headaches.
I am convinced that whoever ebay has dreaming up these horrible new "features" are not people that actually use the site themselves, as all they do is make things more cumbersome.
